Baal Supersonic March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/03/30/dpm-teo-advertises-1-80-chicken-rice-in-his-grc/ DPM Teo advertises $1.80 chicken rice in his GRC March 30th, 2014 | Author: Editorial A reader sent the following screenshot of DPM Teo’s Facebook post to TRE. DPM Teo was sharing a photo of chicken rice with netizens yesterday (29 Mar), with the following message: lunch only $1.80 at Pasir Ris Blk 446 The photo actually originated from Ng Cher Pheng (https://www.facebook.com/ng.cherpheng). He posted the photo on his own Facebook page and shared it with DPM Teo on Friday (28 Mar): Mr Ng posted it with the message: “Lunch only $1.80 @Blk446“. DPM Teo then added the words, “Pasir Ris” to make the message clearer when he re-posted Mr Ng’s photo on his own Facebook page. Mr Ng turns out to be a grassroots leader for the Pasir Ris West Division [Link]. At the National Day Awards 2010, Mr Ng received the Public Service Star (BBM) as Chairman of Pasir Ris West Citizens’ Consultative Committee [Link]. According to the People’s Association website [Link]: The Citizens’ Consultative Committees (CCCs) are at the apex of all grassroots organisations. A vital bridge between the people and the Government, the CCCs plan and lead major grassroots activities within the constituency, oversee local assistance programmes, and organise major fund-raising projects and national campaigns. A further search on the internet reveals that Mr Ng was in fact a member of the Executive Committee of Singapore Insurance Employees’ Union (SIEU) [Link], which was sued by more than 100 of its members last year for failing to represent their interest: Union members go to court when union fails to represent their interests 141 union members behind court application against their union SIEU is an entity affiliated with NTUC. A number of union members are currently suing their employer NTUC Income, another entity under NTUC (‘FCs take collective legal action against NTUC Income‘). After DPM Teo posted the above photo on his Facebook page [Link], some netizens expressed doubt. One said: MP not same ma we go sure $5 dollar confirm DPM Teo tried to assure the netizens: Come and try it for yourself, like Cher Pheng, our Pasir Ris resident who had his lunch there and posted this up. When DPM Teo starts advertising $1.80 chicken rice in his constituency, the general election must be near. What do you think? Meanwhile, a blogger has reported that the Tampines restaurant which sold nasi padang to MP Baey Yam Keng for an unbelievably cheap $2.50 has closed [Link] and will be replaced by the popular Al Salam Restaurant: Has MP Baey given Al Madina the kiss of death? What do you think? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icedbs Turbocharged March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 I really hope the stall is truly selling at $1.80 and not just for the grassroot leader/MP only on goodwill basis. Otherwise, sure the stall cannot take the demands from the public. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 (edited) Bluff wan lah. The chicken rice stall owner give special price to them. If you see closer there are chicken innards added to the plate of chicken rice. Although there are sub $2 chicken rice out there but with added ingredient where got so cheap? After the $2.50 nasi padang furore now got chicken rice furore. Edited March 31, 2014 by Watwheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoob Supercharged March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 (edited) Well, they are trying to prove this study is better than the one on expats... Singapore may be the world's most expensive city for expatriates. But the cost of living for the average resident, which comprises Singaporeans and permanent residents, is much lower than many other global cities such as Hong Kong. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/s-pore-ranked-60th-among/1051700.html So now chicken rice is only $1.80... whereby others are closing down due to high rental...

Vid Hypersonic March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 DPM is saying you will not starve to death in SG. If hungry just go to that kopi tiam for meal at $2. $1.80 for chicken rice and possibly ice kosong at $0.20 (still have this? use to have when I was a kid). You do not need million dollar salaries like his to survive. [sleeping] 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadX Moderator March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 Anana JE station sell $1.50 wah....steady! It makes sense though, they go by volumes and considering the ppl who go there, are the workers, and i am sure they rake in a hefty profit based on volume alone. Surely, $1.50 is real cheap. knn..hte coffee $1.. and the cheeken rice $1.50. Good on them. I fully sarpork! Also, the anana is halal certified! They really know how to attract the masses. Gombak is $2.20, cos not so near the industrial sectors. Woodlands $2. Now $1.5 is the cheapes. I wun be surprised if Joo Koon will start $1.20 soon...hahhaha ANANAS, once you order outside of the "package" (even with less ingredients), is very expensive de. yeah, they gotta rake in from other sources, tho. But they are pretty astute to leverage on volume in this case, and attract the crowds with this price. I see ah sohs, ahpeks, MILFs all buying...hahaha.
